lightsource Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi all, I need a large axe (american fireman style I think)., The handle needs to be over a metre long, the whole thing needs to look metal-like and give the apprerance of looking very heavy (although in reality the lighter the better). Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-42730-Extra-L...e/dp/B0006G4QIU But a little more menacing! It's to buy not hire, as I want it in red, so will probably need a paint job. It's for a music video shoot, for a song called Psycho.............I'll leave the rest up to your imagination <_< Budget is no more than £ 50.

lightsource Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Cheers Boatman, never thought of looking through the Screwfix catalogue! That would be a good prop, but is there something more menacing out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 You could try these guys for a handle (although they may well have the whole thing as they have lots of vintage tools): http://www.leesidetools.co.uk I would then make a menacing blade to fit. Depending on how close up the shot is, airex is very light and paints up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers JM, that axe at the bottom looks about what I'm after, the 'Psycho' is a 22 year old girl, and the vid will be a bit of a comedy shoot, so some shots will have her holding the axe in the air as she attacks her victims ( there's also a breaking through door shot), other shots well be of her dragging it along the ground, because of it's weight. (Which makes part of the comedy.....as she's dragging it across the ground.......her victims (the band) are escaping! Thanks also Jemma, will have a look into that, as I want it as menacing as possible, Edit.....SPAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
